Do money and marriage mix? The pinnacle of riotous Restoration Comedies, Congreve’s play is an unexpectedly moving tale of the trials and tribulations of true love and true riches.

Mirabell and Millamant are in love, but in order for them to marry (and more importantly receive Millamant's full dowry), they need the blessing of Millamant's bitter aunt, Lady Wishfort. Unfortunately, Lady Wishfort has other plans for them. Meanwhile, Fainall, is having a secret affair with his wife's best friend, who in turn once had an affair with Mirabell. And that doesn't even describe what the servants are up to! The wonderful ways of the world - greed, duplicity and lechery - are all on delicious display in this timeless comedy.
